Arsenal Expected to Make Approach for Top Target Morgan Rogers, Villa Set to Demand Over £100m
Arsenal have identified Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers as their primary attacking target for the summer transfer window, with an official approach expected soon. Sky Sports News reports that no club-to-club talks have occurred yet, but interest is set to intensify following England's World Cup exit and Arsenal's agreement to sign Christos Tzolis. Aston Villa are in a strong negotiating position, having recently extended Rogers' contract until 2031, and are expected to demand a fee exceeding £100m, citing recent high-value midfield transfers. The 23-year-old, who joined Villa from Middlesbrough for £16m in 2024, scored 14 goals and provided 11 assists last season and has earned 21 England caps, including five appearances at the 2026 World Cup. Manchester United, Chelsea, and Paris Saint-Germain also hold interest in the player. Additionally, Arsenal remain interested in Julian Alvarez and Bradley Barcola, though deals for both are complicated.
